Volvo milestone: first L90 Electric wheel loader reaches customers

After logging more than 100 million all-electric miles with deployed fleet of battery-powered semi trucks, Volvo’s latest EV milestone can be found OFF the highway: the company’s new L90 Electric wheel loader has reached its first customers.

“This is a milestone for our wheel loader lineup,” reads Volvo CE’s announcement, on LinkedIn. “The first L90 Electric has entered customer service and it’s ready to work.”

Volvo first announced the new L90 Electric wheel loader at last summer’s Volvo Days event, with has dedicated electric motors for propulsion and hydraulics, enabling full available power to both systems, but enjoys a faster response and shorter cycle times than conventional models. The L90 Electric offers 4-5 hours of continuous operation across most applications, and up to 8 hours in lighter duty applications.

The announcement was followed with an expansion of the company’s Shippensburg, PA production facility, which seems complete (enough) that the battery electric construction vehicles are now reaching customers.

This first Volvo L90 Electric has been to work at a groundbreaking for a new data center (which, let’s face it, the world needs like a hole in the head), providing all the flexibility and functionality of a diesel machine with lower on-site emissions and significantly reduced noise.

Electrek’s Take





Volvo CE has one of the most comprehensive lineups of electric equipment in the business, and they’re constantly expanding it. That lineup now includes mobile charging solutions, trailered battery energy storage systems, and on-site power generation.

Fleets looking to electrify their off-highway operations should talk to their friendly neighborhood tax experts, too, to see if, when, and how they can save on their new electric vehicle purchases under the revised Section 179 and 168(k) tax codes.
